What is a placeholder?
- A.
A non-specific code
- B.
A code that is only 5 digits in length
- C.
A, D or S at the end of the code
- D.
An "X" in one of the code positions
Correct Answer
D. An "X" in one of the code positionsExplanation
A placeholder refers to an "X" in one of the code positions. In coding, a placeholder is used to represent a value or data that is not yet known or specified. It is typically used to reserve a spot for future input or to indicate that a particular value is missing or unknown. By using an "X" as a placeholder, it allows for flexibility in the code and can be easily identified and replaced with the correct value when it becomes available.Rate this question:

What are the steps to get an ICD 10 code?
- A.
Go to Tabluar Index, Alphabetical Index, Diagnose Patient
- B.
Diagnose Patient, Alphabetical Index, Tabular Index
- C.
Alphabetical Index, Diagnose Patient, Tabular Index
- D.
Diagnose Patient, Tabular Index, Alphabetical Index
Correct Answer
B. Diagnose Patient, AlpHabetical Index, Tabular IndexExplanation
The correct answer is "Diagnose Patient, Alphabetical Index, Tabular Index". This sequence of steps is the correct order to follow in order to obtain an ICD 10 code. First, the patient's diagnosis needs to be determined. Then, the Alphabetical Index can be used to find the corresponding code for that diagnosis. Finally, the Tabular Index is consulted to ensure accuracy and to provide any additional information or guidelines related to the specific code.Rate this question:

Does my ICD 10 require a 7th digit extension?Where do i look?
- A.
Alphabetical Index at the beginning of the condition
- B.
Last Chapter in the Alphabetical Index
- C.
Beginning of code selection in the Tabular Index
- D.
Last Chapter in the Tabular Index
Correct Answer
C. Beginning of code selection in the Tabular IndexExplanation
The correct answer is "Beginning of code selection in the Tabular Index." In the ICD-10 coding system, the Tabular Index is where you find the codes for specific conditions. The 7th digit extension is used to provide additional specificity for certain codes. Therefore, when looking for the requirement of a 7th digit extension, you would start at the beginning of the code selection in the Tabular Index.Rate this question:

If a patient starts therapy on Sept 26 and is discharged on Oct 23 and claims are submitted on Nov 4:
- A.
All claims will have ICD 10 codes because claim was submitted in November
- B.
All claims will have ICD 9 codes because the patient started in September
- C.
All claims will have ICD 10 because patient was discharged in October
- D.
All dates in Sept will be ICD 9 and all dates in Oct will be ICD 10
Correct Answer
D. All dates in Sept will be ICD 9 and all dates in Oct will be ICD 10Explanation
The correct answer is "All dates in Sept will be ICD 9 and all dates in Oct will be ICD 10." This is because the implementation date for ICD-10 was October 1, 2015. Therefore, any services provided before that date should be coded using ICD-9, and any services provided on or after that date should be coded using ICD-10. In this case, since the patient started therapy on September 26 (before October 1), the dates in September would be coded using ICD-9. Similarly, since the patient was discharged on October 23 (after October 1), the dates in October would be coded using ICD-10.Rate this question:

A patient comes to therapy with Shoulder pain, 2 weeks later has follow up with MD and the patient tells you they are diagnosed with a RTC Tear. Can the provider change the code per patients subjective information?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
- C.
Option3
- D.
Option4
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
No, the provider cannot change the code based on the patient's subjective information. The diagnosis of a RTC Tear should be made by a medical professional, such as the MD, based on objective medical evidence and diagnostic tests. The provider should rely on the official diagnosis made by the MD rather than the patient's subjective information.Rate this question:

During course of care are you expected to change the ICD 10 code if further diagnostic testing shows a different diagnosis?
- A.
True
- B.
False
- C.
Option3
- D.
Option4
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
During the course of care, it is expected that the ICD 10 code may need to be changed if further diagnostic testing reveals a different diagnosis. This is because the initial diagnosis may have been based on incomplete information or preliminary findings. As more information becomes available, the healthcare provider may need to update the ICD 10 code to accurately reflect the patient's condition and guide appropriate treatment and billing.Rate this question:

Which Insurance Companies are NOT required to comply to ICD 10?
- A.
Medicare and Medicaid
- B.
No- Fault
- C.
BCBS, Aetna, and MVP
- D.
All insurance companies are required to comply
Correct Answer
B. No- FaultExplanation
No-Fault insurance companies are not required to comply with ICD-10. This is because No-Fault insurance is a type of coverage that pays for medical expenses and other damages regardless of who is at fault for an accident. Since No-Fault insurance policies do not require the determination of fault, they do not need to adhere to the specific coding and billing requirements of ICD-10, which is a set of medical coding guidelines used for billing purposes.Rate this question:

Patient comes into therapy with Bil knee pain.What would you code?
- A.
Unspecified knee pain code
- B.
Right knee pain code
- C.
Left knee pain code
- D.
Right and Left Knee pain codes
Correct Answer
D. Right and Left Knee pain codesExplanation
The correct answer is to code both right and left knee pain. This is because the patient presents with bilateral knee pain, meaning that they are experiencing pain in both knees. Coding both right and left knee pain accurately reflects the patient's condition and ensures that both knees are addressed in the treatment plan.Rate this question:

When coding S/P Right ACL Reconstruction S83.511DDo you need to also include the Surgical Aftercare Code Z47.89
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
- C.
Option3
- D.
Option4
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
No, you do not need to include the Surgical Aftercare Code Z47.89 when coding S/P Right ACL Reconstruction S83.511D. The Surgical Aftercare Code is used to indicate that the patient is receiving aftercare following a surgical procedure. Since S/P Right ACL Reconstruction already indicates that the patient has undergone a surgical procedure, there is no need to include the Surgical Aftercare Code.Rate this question:

ICD 10 coding:
- A.
Requires a direct mapping from ICD 9
- B.
Requires accurate and through documentation
- C.
Supports unspecified codes
- D.
All the above are correct
Correct Answer
B. Requires accurate and through documentationExplanation
The correct answer is "Requires accurate and thorough documentation." This is because ICD-10 coding requires detailed and precise documentation in order to assign the correct codes. Without accurate and thorough documentation, it would be difficult to accurately code and classify medical diagnoses and procedures. Direct mapping from ICD-9 and the support for unspecified codes are not the main requirements for ICD-10 coding.Rate this question:

When coding, you want to code the RESULT rather than the CONDITION
- A.
True
- B.
False
- C.
Option3
- D.
Option4
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement "When coding, you want to code the RESULT rather than the CONDITION" is incorrect. In coding, it is important to code both the condition and the result. The condition determines when the result will be executed, so it is necessary to include it in the code. By coding both the condition and the result, the program can make decisions and perform actions based on certain conditions.Rate this question:

If i see a patient as Direct Access, and the code requires a 7th Character, Would i use an A, D or S as my 7th Character?
- A.
D
- B.
S
- C.
A
- D.
No of the above
Correct Answer
C. AExplanation
If a patient is seen as Direct Access and the code requires a 7th Character, the appropriate 7th Character to use would be "A". This is because "A" represents the initial encounter for active treatment. The other options, "D" and "S", do not apply in this scenario. "D" is used for subsequent encounters for active treatment, and "S" is used for sequela or complications arising from a previous condition.Rate this question:

When coding accurecty, you want to always remember
- A.
What - What am I seeing this patient for? What happened to this patient to cause his or her present condition?
- B.
When - When did the injury occur? Is the patient in the active phase of treatment, or is he or she healing or recovering from the injury or condition
- C.
Why - Why is the patient seeking rehab therapy? Think in terms of causation: rather than simply coding for knee pain, for example, think about what actually caused the knee pain
- D.
All the above
Correct Answer
D. All the aboveExplanation
The explanation for the given correct answer is that when coding accurately, it is important to consider all the factors mentioned in the options. Understanding the "what" helps in identifying the patient's condition and the cause of it. Knowing the "when" helps in determining the stage of treatment or recovery. Considering the "why" helps in understanding the underlying cause for seeking therapy. Therefore, it is crucial to remember all these aspects to ensure accurate coding.Rate this question:
